How to Lose Weight Using Cinnamon and Honey – Drink your Way to Fitness
If you are behind the schedule, and you feel that time is quickly running out, help yourself to some cinnamon + honey drink. It is a wondrous solution for a drink that will help you lose weight quickly and healthily, without spending a lot of money on allegedly miraculous pills or lengthy diets.
While I strongly oppose pills and other artificial ways of losing weight, I don’t claim that the cinnamon honey drink will work alone. You still need to stay away from those fast foods, eat healthily and exercise daily, but this tasty drink will push the process into overdrive.
I think this is the ultimate example of combining the best of both worlds because for the first time you no longer need to decide between what is tasty and what is right for you.
I tried drinking this mixture for few weeks, and the difference was noticeably visible. No, I didn’t lose 10 lbs overnight, but I felt light because this drink would clean out all the greasy food I’ve consumed the next day.
The Result:
I can’t believe I’ve lost 5 lbs in barely 2 weeks of drinking this drink and after a month and a half later, I’ve lost almost 10 lbs. This drink does relieve a lot of problems like bloating and irregularity, something that most weight loss tricks actually cause.
Tips in Buying Cinnammon:
All Cinnamon are Not Created Equal
Often in supermarkets, you don’t buy real cinnamon, but cassia (Chinese cinnamon bark), which is a cheap cinnamon from China, Vietnam, and Indonesia.
It has VERY different chemical properties and contains a potentially dangerous substance called coumarin. (Unfortunately, Saigon cinnamon is actually cassia, so look for organic CEYLON cinnamon!). It has a sweet aroma and a noticeably better and milder flavor than the cassia variety.
You’ll Need:
- 1 tbsp organic raw Honey
- 1 tsp organic Ceylon Cinnamon powder
- 1 cup water
① Boil the water. Add cinnamon in a mug of hot water.
② When water has cooled to drinkable temp, add honey (not before it’s cooled!).
③ Drink 1 glass before breakfast and one glass right before bed to boost metabolism.
This works — I’ve tried it for a week and have already lost inches. (Don’t reheat, keep in mind if it is too hot, the heat will break down the nutrients in the honey.)
Best Time to Consume:
Consume every night before sleeping, and every morning 30 minutes before eating anything else.
I’m confident that nobody doubts the fact that cinnamon and honey are expensive ingredients, so you can create as much juice as you want without worrying about expenses.
I prefer not to brew large quantities, but if you are short on time, you will find it refreshing to learn that the drink can be stored safely for days. Every time you feel the need of a refreshing drink, take a sip and watch how those pounds melt away.
I hope this works for everyone like it used to work for me! Let me know how it goes!
Quick Tip:
I suggest that you use a tea infuser to hold the cinnamon in hot water as it doesn’t dissolve well in liquid (the wet cinnamon within the tea infuser is thrown out later, but into the garbage as it could clog your sink!). Or you can use a coffee filter when brewing this drink.

Before starting this drink or any weight loss program, consult a doctor or your personal physician. I am not an expert, a dietitian, a physical trainer, nor claim to be.
This is only a reflection of my personal experience to lose weight, my success in losing extra pounds may not work for you as every person has a unique body system.
